I liked their sample letter to unit managers. Seems to address many of the issues being discussed here at the moment.
"Dear President of CRM company:
It has been brought to my attention that you are overseeing an archaeological project where your employees are not being paid the prevailing wage legally required by Service Contract Act. Other state regulations may also apply.
Besides breaking the law, you are lowering the quality of archaeology. By preventing technicians from earning a living wage you insure high turn-over and inexperienced technicians."
A tad vague, but a good sentiment. Good on the Americans for unionising. At least we can all still see a doctor if we're laid off...
